Studying this masters in Film Making at Kingston University will equip you for lifelong film making and learning – whether you want to work in the film industry, go independent or pursue further study. 

Through a blend of theoretical learning, hands-on experience and creative work, you’ll develop skills such as critical thinking, character and narrative development, and post-production.

You’ll learn to produce films independently, pragmatically and with accountability, which will boost your employability and put you in full command of your own material.

During the course, you’ll advance your visual storytelling, character building and script development skills. You’ll focus on collaborative filmmaking, share non-mainstream stories and take inspiration from conformity-challenging productions.

When you graduate, you’ll have a strong portfolio of short films that showcase your technical ability in cinematography, sound recording, editing, writing and direction. Our independent filmmaker graduates have exhibited films at the East End Film Festival and Tate Britain, with projects commissioned by the Home Office, Tate, E4 and Film London.
